Pages: 1 mikewirths Vendor-Baja Dark Skies Reged: 06/16/08 Loc: San Pedro Martir Mexico very small dome near Rumker hills       #5672680 - 02/10/13 04:50 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Hi all, I was reprocessing a shot I took last year of the area around Rumker hills and I noticed a possible small dome at the terminus of a wrinkle ridge. It appears circular, and suggests a pit crater or even two. Its shadow/ sunlit orientation is similar to those on the Rumker dome complex. It must be in the 1-2km range size so even at this large image scale its tough to get more detail in order to see it better. Anyone else think this might be a possible tiny dome?

You can see its more of an X shape than circular. Always difficult to interpret an image when the object is at the limit resolution wise! cheers Mike Post Extras:       Rick Woods Postmaster Reged: 01/27/05 Loc: Inner Solar System Re: very small dome near Rumker hills [Re: mikewirths]       #5676887 - 02/13/13 12:38 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   If there's anything about the Moon Mardi doesn't know, nobody else does either.
